NBA History: 5 Greatest Los Angeles Clippers players of all time

#3. Elton Brand

Elton Brand, LAC

Elton Brand was traded to the Clippers in 2001, after two very successful seasons with the Bulls. The following year, he was selected to the All-Star team, the first Clipper since Danny Manning in 1994. Brand led the team to it's first Western Conference semi-finals, averaging 25 points and 10 rebounds.

Brand was the Clippers' centerpiece for a long time, and he managed to stay consistent and efficient throughout his 7-year run with the Clippers. Not only was he an excellent scorer for the Clippers, Brand was also a very talented defender. He averaged 2.3 blocks over his 7 seasons with the Clippers and was instrumental in their defense.

The once MVP candidate eventually left the team in 2008 for the 76ers, looking for a title, but he never won one. Brand, throughout his career, was a 2x All-Star, won Co-ROTY in 2000, and made one All-NBA team.
